Park Neighborhood
It is bordered by 60th Street to the north, Xerxes Avenue to the east, Highway 62 to the south, and France Avenue to the west. This mainly residential neighborhood was established as three subdivisions, Bel-Air, Town Realty Edina Terrace, and the Erickson Addition. Its 300 homes are mainly of the 1950’s era.
The neighborhood and park both derived their names from Herman Strachauer, who is credited with being the “father” of Edina’s parks. Herman was a member of Edina’s park board from its creation in 1948 until 1961, serving as president of the board from 1951-1960. The neighborhood’s 800 residents all love the area for its family-oriented atmosphere.

- Association: If there’s an HOA, review the fees, what they cover and the reserves before you write an offer.
- Schools: Confirm the assigned schools for any address with the district, since boundaries can change.
